Looking for a quick and easy solution to keep your gates securely shut? Then Countersunk magnets are the ideal solution for keeping gates, doors or even cupboards closed securely. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Countersunk magnets are perfect for this application due to the countersunk central hole, allowing them to be fixed to non-magnetic surfaces with a screw and in this case a wooden gate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 25mm x 5mm thick x 6mm countersunk circular magnets<\/a> we recommend provide an astonishing 11.2kg pull for a small magnet, for this application to work you\u2019ll require one North and one South magnet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Having\nselected the magnets, you begin by simply recessing a hole into the gate before\nscrewing in your first countersunk magnet, this can be either the north or\nsouth. Repeat this process and recesses a hole and then screw in the remaining\ncountersunk magnets on the fence post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drilling the initial holes ensure the magnets sit flush on both the gate and the fence. This process allows the gate to be pushed close with ease and sees the north magnet attract to the south providing a secure hold and a clean aesthetic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This\nquick and simple solution is a great hack for anyone looking to fix up or\nspruce up their garden gate. However, with this being an outdoor application\nour experts recommend painting the magnets with a protective layer of varnish\nor corrosion resistant iron paint, such as Hammerite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another\npossibility is using our rubber coated countersunk magnets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
